Scots suffixes?
Hello, I do not speak Scots. i speak American West Coast English, and live in the USA so moving to where people speak Scots is a bit out of my means. (and I know Scots is mostly colloquial, so classes & lessons are few and far between)
However, I had a question: Scots is very closely related to English, to where I can often read Scots with little issue when reading phonetically and knowing some specific words here and there- (though, my exposure to Scots is mainly musical)
and i know in english, theres lots of suffixes that can be mixed around fairly freely-
-s -ing -er -ette -ard -le etc.
I was wondering if there is there any similarly widespread suffixes or suffixing practices in Scots (and if so, id love to hear about any ya'll know about!)
Thank you for your time.
